The Met Office has forecast snow in the Midlands in the next 24 hours as Coventry braces for a -5C blast. In the latest online forecast it predicts some hill snow for our region tomorrow (January 10).
It comes as bone-chilling temperatures continue to dominate. They could reach as low as -5C across Coventry and Warwickshire tonight (January 9).
They are set to remain sub-zero into tomorrow morning with highs of just 2C expected in the day. Freezing fog is forecast as we head into the weekend.
